On July 1, the Rotary Club of Guelph is normally busy hosting Canada Day In The Park for the Guelph community, an event it has taken full responsibility for organizing in the city for almost three decades, raising over $1 million to support good causes locally and abroad. But for the second year in a row, Guelph's Canada Day will be different this year. Read more here.
July 1 is a very special day for Rotary in another way, too. It marks the start of a new Rotary year, with every Rotary Club in the world welcoming a new club president beginning their one-year term of office.
The Rotary Club of Guelph warmly and proudly welcomes Mahmud Hassain as its new club president for 2021-2022. In this fun photo, he shows off the traditional Paul Harris Fellow medallion that is ceremoniously passed from one club president to the next. Read the lovely story behind this medallion here.
